About this deal

Update March 27, 2020: Building instructions for this model are now available! You can find them in this post: Trench Run Pursuit Instructions. There is very little friction between LEGO and cardboard, which is why I’m using felt ramps in the video. I’ve found you can also put a bit of masking tape on the feet give their surface a bit more friction. I’ve tried them on wooden ramps as well with some success. Note that the friction is very important. If the feet slip at all, even a tiny amount, they will lose a lot of energy and not walk as effectively. A full kit for this model is also available on MOCHUB, which includes the instructions and all the pieces needed to build it. Glass-walking, which looks incredibly painful and is perhaps most similar to Lego walking, can actually be relatively painless. To prepare a glass walk, the pieces are typically broken to fairly small size, then poured onto the flat surface and patted down to ensure a more uniform walking surface. Once the walker steps on to the path, the glass shifts and flattens further, and the walker is distributing his or her weight evenly over many potentially sharp points – the “bed of nails” effect. This means that no one piece has enough pressure applied to break the skin or even set off the many pain receptive nerves in the feet. Unfortunately, LEGO Ideas no longer accepts Star Wars related submissions, so I can’t add this as part of the Pursuit of Flight project, but I hope that this model gives both you, and LEGO, an idea of what is possible with it.

EU: 4495737 Availability LEGO exclusive Notes Random set of the day on 17 Apr 2021 Rating ✭ ✭ ✭ ✭ ✭ 4.5 This is an update to the model I originally designed in 2015. I finally sat down to put together building instructions for it, and took the opportunity to update the design while I was at it. The core walking frame is essentially the same as the original, but the release of some new pieces allowed me to improve the exterior design of the model. But there’s another question about why Lego walks are becoming popular: Why would anyone want to subject themselves to walking on sharp, pointy bits of plastic? Why would we do something so painful? Well, one answer is that it makes us better people. An At-at walker is a giant four-legged machine used by the Imperial Army in the Star Wars universe. They are heavily armored and equipped with powerful weapons, making them a fearsome opponent on the battlefield. LEGO Star Wars All in all I really like LEGO construction sets because they have so many creative building measures. With these sets, you can have them in many different scenes because they feature posable legs.

Once complete, you’ll have a stunning replica of the Galactic Empire’s mightiest ground vehicle, featuring a movable head, spinning front guns, adjustable legs, and opening side panels revealing detailed interiors. It’s the perfect centerpiece for any collection – or even just to show off to your friends and family!

I recently designed a six legged walking frame for another project and one of the first things that popped into my mind after designing it was that I could probably build a reasonable All Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE) from the Star Wars universe around it. At-at walkers are much larger than At-st walker and are made for moving across open terrain. They are also equipped with heavier weapons, making them more suited for combat. On the other hand, At-st walkers are smaller and more agile, making them better suited for scouting missions or guerrilla warfare.I’ve designed a few themed variations of my Pursuit of Flight model over the years, but one that I’ve wanted to build since the beginning was a Star Wars speeder chase version. You can have them standing as a display on a shelf, or carefully move the legs so they appear to be walking or even falling! Lego walking is increasingly popular at charity events, Lego-themed events, team-building workshops, on YouTube, and even in cabaret sideshow acts. It is exactly what it sounds like: stepping barefoot on a pile or path of Legos, usually of all different sizes. But unlike fire-walking or even glass-walking, walking over a bunch of Legos actually does hurt. Why? And an even better question—what do we get out of it? Out of the three that I do on a regular basis, it’s before I step on the Lego that I think ‘Oh, this is going to be a bit uncomfortable,’” he says, laughing. It’s been on my todo list for a while to see what kind of maze I could design by combining the parts of another LEGO set with the 21305 Maze set. I finally decided to see what I could come up with using 75099 Rey’s Speeder.

Some of my favorite things are opening the hatch revealing the detailed minifigure interior,and of course all the minifgs. Last week, I was in St. Louis for the FIRST Championships, showing off some robots in the LEGO Education booth. Unrelated to the robotics event, they had a table full of white parts, mostly from the Architecture Studio set, for people to build with. It’s a very interesting exercise to build using a single colour. You focus a lot more on the shapes of what you are creating, using texture to add detail instead of colour differences. I definitely wandered over to that table whenever I had a chance. Who can resist a table full of pieces? One model that came out of it was a micro scale Millennium Falcon. It wasn’t very accurate to the ‘real’ thing, as there was a limited selection of parts, but upon returning home I thought I would try to make a more accurate version at the same scale. I only sell original LEGO minifigures that have been obtained new by me in original boxes, or from reputable sources. I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos and seeing your models. I was wondering if you could make a walking AT-AT walker mechanism. I would really appreciate it. I was also wondering if every thing is all right because it’s been over 3 months since you’ve posted your last video. I would really appreciate if you could respond shortly.There is often confusion between At-at and At-st walkers, as they both appear in the LEGO Star Wars universe. However, there are some key differences between them. In 2006, Scott Bell earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest-ever barefoot walk over hot coals—250 feet of glowing hot embers, at 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Eight months later, he smashed that record with another fire-walk, this time 326 feet. Your kangaroo moves pretty much exactly like a (slow-moving) kangaroo! (I am in Melbourne, Australia).
